Well, since we're being pedantic and moronic, I guess I have to reword what I said. If our counting sequence and number system remained constant and everyone on the planet said 1+1=5, that would not make it true. |
While I completely understand what you're trying to say, our counting sequence and number system is entirely based on what we view it to be. If we don't remain constant nothing around us will. Definitions of anything (words or numbers) will only mean what the mass wants it to mean. If everyone on the planet decides 1+1=5, then it is true 1+1=5.
The only reason it's not true right now, is because not everyone on the planet says it's true. So, how can our counting sequence and number system remain constant when everyone on the planet changes? And why do you need to try to belittle someone who is justly pointing out a flaw in your statement?
